Felipe Andres Manzano discovered that mplayer, a multimedia player, isvulnerable to several integer overflows in the Real video streamdemuxing code. These flaws could allow an attacker to cause a denialof service (a crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code bysupplying a maliciously crafted video file.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed inversion 1.0~rc1-12etch5. For he unstable distribution (sid), theseproblems have been fixed in version 1.0~rc2-18.

We recommend that you upgrade your mplayer packages.
